"Look alter th kids? I should say
not. That's what the old woman Is
for."
This statement, or the sentiment In
subetance, was heard so often from men
who thought thetreelvee too busy to glv
their children any attention that Styroeet
Rtevenson. a lumberman of Council
Bluffs, got entirely dlagustrd with I.
So he called a little meeting In the
Madison avenue school In Council Blurts
some two years ago. Then he lectured
the dosen fellows that csme. He told
them Just what he thought they, as
father owed to their children.
"What sort of father sre you?"
That la what he wanted to know. Pome
had little to say In defense of their at
titude toward their children. One man,
hard pressed for an answer, finally ad
mitted that he had never given fifteen
minutes a day to his children, although
he wa the father of six.
Then and there Sty meat Stevenson or
ganised the dosen men Into a Aethers'

of some of the teachers of Council Bluffs.

seven oonvlota on a motor truck, which
was crossing a railroad track here lata
today, realised that a collision with an
approaching switch engine was Inevitable,

ot being shot by armed guards following
In an automobile. The engine crashed
squarely Into the truck and seven of the
prisoners were severely Injured, two
probably - fatally. ' Twenty others sus
tained cuts and bruises. . The convicts
were being taken back to prison after a
day's work In flax fields. They saw the
engine In time to Jump to safety, but
thought the guards In the automobile
would not understand the Situation and
would begin firing.

FORTS OF WARSAW
ARE UNDAMAGED
Defenses of Polish Capital Fall
Virtually Intact Into Ger
man Hands.
THOSE OF IVAN00R0D HAZED
BERLIN (Via London), Anit. 7.
The forts of Warsaw have fallen
virtually undamaged into the hands
of the Germans, according; to Infor
mation reschlng here. The defenses
of Ivsngorod, however, were de
stroyed by the Russians before their
retirement. The garrisons of the
two fortresses appear to have com
pleted the evacuation without ma
terial loss and to have carried away
a large part ot the stores and muni
tions of war accumulated In Warsaw
for the armies In Poland.
Some disappointment Is expressed
among the ermn people st the failure
of the Teutonic force to lusk-i an Impos
ing capture of prisoners snd guns in
Wsrsaw, but military expsrti here do not
share this feeling.
Slgelfleeaee ef rasters.
They polrt out as the real significance
of the capture of the two fortresses thst
the Russians thereby nave lost the forti
fied basivof operations which gave then
such immense advantage in tbe earlier
movements In Polar J and that this ad
vantage now has been transferred to the
derma nt, who can utilise it either for de
fensive strategy or to facilitate a further
offensive campaign against tbe Ruaslsn
army.
If prisoners and grin are desired there
la still a chance of making a conslder
sble capture, the military writers say, for
ths Russians crowded within the long
salient running out to the fortress of No
vogeonrtevBk are in a precarious posi
tion. With German armies on three
sides, the mouth ot the sack from which
Ihey must escape is scarcely a dosen
miles wide and from the north General
von Qsllwlls's army has broken through
ths defensive lines and Is pressing irre
sistibly down toward tre Nsrew river.
Oread Pakt'i Pies.
No Indications of an evscuatlon of
NoTogsorglevsk by the Russians have
been received here and Grand Duke
Nlcholss, commander-in-chief of the Rus
sian armies, perhaps may Intend to
leave the garrison in this fortress, which
is really stronger and more important
than Warsaw, to stand a siege.
